Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

The diatance to downtown

The rooms looked liked they cut them in half to make more rooms. The tub was not what they showed in pictures. There were homeless people behind the hotel and hanging out on hotel property. An open attic in hall way. They say free parking but very little spaces available . Its first come first serve deal with parking but they sont advertise that. Its worth spending the extra money at another hotel.

Nothing! I'm still waiting on a refund for being over charged and I doubt I'm getting it back!

They gave us the wrong room, them gave us a second one where they gave us a hard time for wanting to switch for what we ordered, the girl at the front desk was so unhelpful and sarcastic and then the appliances in the second room didn't work. They over charged us and lied about refunding us bc till this day I call back and still can never get a hold of the "person in charge" and the view from the window is bums sleeping beside the highway (too scared to leave window open) THEN they have an open attic in the hall where random people climbed in and knocked and jumped through the sealing! It was soooooo scary it felt like they were inside! They were purposely knocking and asking if we could sleep And finally on our last day I showered with a cockroach that I had to frantically water down the drain

Truthfully I didn't like anything

I didn't like that I was traveling alone for business and there were homeless people all around and sleeping in tents in the back of the hotel right out my window. Location was horrible, in the middle of two freeways, on ramp and off ramp! There were very few parking spaces and when I had to leave early in the morning I was blocked in. I was studying on my computer and the internet was very slow. It was just al really bad experience from the get go, I expected at least safe accomidations for $100 a nite

- WiFi connection is acceptable;
- Good bed;
- Good bathroom;

- Located in the downtown border, far of downtown core by walk, per example;
- To go to this hotel by car is difficult if you don't have a GPS or map, because you will need enter in the Highway and take the exit to 10th Ave. The 10th Ave is in the downtown oneway direction and to make the around the block is not easy.
